Indiana Fever Coach Has Implemented a Strict Rule For Caitlin Clark
Caitlin Clark is in the midst of her transition to the WNBA level as the Indiana Fever’s No. 1 overall pick.
The former Iowa superstar experienced her fair share of struggles through her first couple games, and head coach Christie Sides is attempting to combat those struggles with a simple rule.
“I gave her a rule the other day. She’s got 0.5 seconds to make a decision… She has a habit of hanging out and dancing. That’s what she’s done. It’s those habits that we’ve got to break,” Sides said after the Fever’s second regular-season game.
Clark has slowly improved since her 10-turnover WNBA debut against the Connecticut Sun. On Saturday, she scored a career-high 22 points in a loss to the New York Liberty.

On Monday night, Clark and the Fever will take the court yet again for a matchup against the Sun. Indiana is 0-3 to start the year and on the hunt for its first win of the season.

TRAVIS KELCE’S EX SLAMS SWIFTIES FOR ATTACKING HER AFTER SHE ALLEGEDLY BASHED TAYLOR SWIFT’S MUSIC
It seems Kayla Nicole finally had enough and decided to respond to swifties who were leaving mean comments on her social media.

HIGHLIGHTS
Kayla Nicole received backlash from overly intense Taylor Swift fans for supposedly bashing the singer’s music, despite not directly mentioning her. The model clapped back at “swifties” on social media, defending herself and asking for the hate to stop, receiving mostly supportive comments. Despite the drama, Kayla Nicole and Travis Kelce’s past relationship seems to have ended amicably, and she still maintains a good relationship with the Kelce family. Much like Taylor Swift was coming out of a six-year committed relationship with Joe Alwyn, Travis Kelce had also ended a long relationship shortly before they got together. He dated reporter and model Kayla Nicole for five years, and despite their breakup, it doesn’t seem there’s any animosity between them or between her and Taylor Swift.

(Photo by Elsa/Getty Images) Caitlin Clark had a shaky start to her WNBA career on Tuesday, as the Indiana Fever fell 92-71 to the Connecticut Sun in their 2024 regular season opener. Heading into halftime, the broadcast showed the former Iowa Hawkeyes star in a conversation with her teammate Aaliyah Boston as they walked to the locker room. Although the audio wasn’t captured, Boston appeared animated while talking to Clark, who seemed to take her teammate’s words to heart. The commentators noted that despite Boston’s emphatic demeanor, she was offering support to Clark during the exchange:
In her WNBA debut, Caitlin Clark had a less-than-stellar first half, contributing seven points on 2-of-7 shooting, one assist and five turnovers. She ended the game with 20 points, making 5-of-15 shots from the field, 4-of-11 from beyond the arc and a perfect 6-for-6 from the free-throw line. She contributed only three assists and grabbed zero rebounds and finished with 10 turnovers. However, Caitlin Clark wasn’t the only one who faced difficulties. The Indiana Fever had only one other player scoring in double digits: forward Nalyssa Smith, who ended the game with 13 points, nine rebounds and two blocks. Aaliyah Boston, playing for 29 minutes, tallied four points, six rebounds and four turnovers. On the Connecticut Sun side, five players achieved double-digit scoring: DeWanna Bonner with 20 points and six rebounds; DiJonai Carrington with 16 points and five rebounds; Tyasha Harris with 16 points; Alyssa Thomas with a remarkable 13 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, while Rachel Banham contributed 10 points off the bench. The Fever split their two preseason games. They suffered a narrow defeat in their first game against the Dallas Wings, 79-76, where Caitlin Clark had 21 points on 6-of-15 shooting, including 5-of-13 from beyond the arc, and contributed three rebounds, two assists and two steals. In their next preseason game, Clark guided Indiana to an 83-80 victory over the Atlanta Dream, coming close to achieving a triple-double, recording 12 points, eight rebounds and six assists.
